family system
Not very long ago, a special family system(体系) existed in certain parts of South India. In this system, the actual head of a family unit was the mother‘s eldest brother, though the mother also had an important position in the family. In families of this kind, a husband was actually no more than a visitor. He did not live with his wife, but with his own mother, brothers and sisters in another house. He saw his sons and daughters sometimes, but the man who actually fed and cared for them and acted as their father was their uncle-their mother‘s brother.
But this system, in which brother and sisters take the place of the father, no longer exists in South India except in a few villages. Economic changes have had far reaching effect on family life. Family life began to change when men went out to work in factories and offices instead of working with their mothers, brothers, and sisters on the land. When a man went out to work he had money of his own and could buy his own land and build his own family, instead of depending on his mother and his brothers. He wanted to be independent. This is an example of the way in which economic relations can have an effect on family relation-ships.

Success
If you‘re in charge of a project, the key to success is getting everyone to want to help you. As a
director. I point. I gently push the actors in the direction I want them to go.
In the 1986 movie nothing in common, Jackie Gleason‘s character, Max Basner, gets fired from his job as a clothing salesman. The scene, shot on a boat, shows Max‘s despair about being out of work. I was looking for some gesture that would allow Max to show his feelings. Jackie had far more experience at everything than I did, and at first I was frightened. What could I possibly tell ―The Great One‖ about acting? Out of fear I decided to direct by suggestion, and I sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene. ―So Max is and, right?‖ I said. Gleason nodded. ―And he‘s probably still carrying his pens with his name on them – the ones he used to hand out to his customers, right?‖ Gleason nodded. ―So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired?‖ He was silent for a moment. ―Why don‘t I throw them overboard?‖ I stood up and turned toward the crew. ―Hey, everybody. Jackie has a wonderful idea. Let‘s shoot it‖. After filming the scene, Gleason called me over and said with a smile, ―Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am I going to have tomorrow?‖ You and your team can discover the answers to problems together. When there are no prizes or gold stars. For who gets the solution first, you‘ll all benefit when everything turns out right. 1. The author tells us that to succeed in a project you are in charge of you should ______.

答案：BCADB
tornadoes
Forces other than damaging winds are also at work inside tornadoes(龙卷风). Sometimes, as the wind passes a house, the walls and ceiling burst apart as if a bomb had gone off inside. This explosion is caused by the low air pressure at the center of a tornado.
The pressure at the center of a tornado is usually 13 pounds per square inch. However, inside the house the air pressure is normal, about 15 pounds per square inch. The difference of 2 pounds per square inch between the inside and outside pressure may not seem like much. But suppose a tornado passes over a small building that measures 20 by 10 by 10 feet. On each square inch of
the building, there is 2 pounds of pressure from the inside that is not balanced by air pressure outside the building. On the ceiling, that adds up to an unbalanced pressure of 57600 pounds. The pressure of the four walls adds up to 172800 pounds.
If windows are open in the building, some of the inside air will rush out through them. This will balance the pressure inside and outside the building. But if the windows are shut tightly, the huge inside pressure may cause the building to burst.
Unfortunately, heavy rain often occurs in the storms that later produce tornadoes, so people often shut their windows. This may cause far worse damage later.
1.What did the paragraph before this passage most probably discuss?
A. Measuring rainfall from a storm B. The powerful winds of tornadoes.
C. The kinds of damage caused by explosions D. Repairing the damage from tornadoes.
2.Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. How tornadoes can be prevented. B. When tornadoes usually occur. C. Where tornadoes are formed.
D. Why tornadoes cause so much damage.
3.Tornadoes can destroy buildings because the______.
A. force of a tornado increases the air pressure in a building. B. air pressure at the center of a tornado is over 172000 pounds.
C. weight of a tornado can destroy a building‘s roof when it passes over head. D. air pressure inside a tornado is less than the air pressure inside a building.
4.What is the difference per square inch between the air pressure inside a building and the air pressure inside a tornado?
A. 2 pounds. B. 10 pounds. C. 13 pounds. D. 15 pounds.
